Acuérdate de mí or
'Remember Me' was especially arranged for David Kram (Head of
Opera Department, Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts,
The University of Melbourne) and Colombian mezzo-soprano Ursula
Paez Zapata as part of 'New Worlds, New Spaces: An Intercultural
Project in Three Languages' presented at Federation Hall
(Victorian College of the Arts) and The Ian Potter Centre
(National Gallery of Victoria) Melbourne, Australia. "Inspired by the artwork of Australian and European-born
artists on display at the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, this
multi-lingual project explores the themes of Australia as a 'new
world' alongside live music, poetry and text recitals performed
in French, German and Spanish music and language students." The text of Acuérdate de mí deals with the
perpetuity of memories, and the state of ambiguity and
disquietude associated with the notion of lost identity. The work is structured around the rhythmic designs of
Chacarera - a folk dance and music from the northwest of
Argentina originating during the 19th century. The
usual instrumentation of the Chacarera consists of guitar,
violin, accordion and bombo (Andean cylindrical-shaped
double-headed drum).
